Baby at the Barre

Description:

Baby at the Barre is taking a break! We hope to bring it back again in the future!

Workout with your Baby at the Barre! Pure Barre is a workout that utilizes small movements for a big change, both physically and mentally. You will work each muscle group to fatigue, then stretch to create long, lean muscle (like a dancer!). This is a 45 minute class, and targets the areas that women struggle with the most. Transform your body and your mind in record time. Visit http://purebarre.com/ltb/all-about-the-barre/ to learn more about the incredible technique and what to expect!

The class offered at Nini Bambini will be focused on the same movements as a class in a Pure Barre studio, but no barre will be needed! Between wearing your baby, exercises in the center of the room, and the use of the wall or a chair for balance, you will get the same amazing workout as you would at the studio! We will transition from wearing your baby, to having them on a mat nearby.

Please be sure you are cleared for exercise from your Doctor. Please bring a carrier or wrap for your little, and lots of water! Ages of children welcomed are 6 weeks to toddler.

This is a 4-week seminar that requires registration. Class size is limited. When referencing your membership benefits, this is a premium class.
